Portret van Trijntje Kramer 1857 - 1898

This portrait of Trijntje Kramer was captured by Pieter Siewers, a Dutch photographer, between 1857 and 1898. The image showcases Kramer's serious expression as she gazes directly at the viewer, her simple attire and cap highlighting the traditional style of the time. The photograph's intimate scale, measuring just 104 mm in length and 62 mm in width, suggests its personal nature, potentially a family memento. Siewers was known for his portraiture, capturing the everyday lives of people in Edam, where he resided and practiced photography. This piece exemplifies his skill in creating a classic portrait that reflects the era's photographic techniques and societal norms.
